Autologous Fat Transfer – Restore Youth Naturally
Autologous fat transfer, also called fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure where fat is harvested from areas of the body where it is abundant, purified, and injected into regions requiring volume enhancement. It is commonly used to rejuvenate the face, enhance breasts, sculpt hands, and restore contours of the body. Unlike synthetic fillers, using your own fat ensures a natural look, reduces risk of rejection or allergic reactions, and integrates seamlessly with your body’s tissues. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking natural, long-lasting results with minimal scarring.
At Shettys Skin Sciences, we emphasize safety, precision, and aesthetics. Our advanced techniques ensure maximum fat survival, minimal downtime, and predictable outcomes. Patients not only gain volume in the desired areas but also enjoy subtle improvements in skin quality due to regenerative properties of fat cells.
Why Autologous Fat Transfer is Preferred
This technique provides a dual advantage – it removes fat from unwanted areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, while simultaneously restoring volume in areas needing rejuvenation. The procedure offers natural results, minimal recovery time, and the satisfaction of using your body’s own tissue rather than foreign implants.
Fat cells are carefully extracted using micro-liposuction and processed to remove impurities. Skilled injections ensure even distribution, resulting in smooth, youthful contours. The procedure can also improve skin texture and elasticity, giving a refreshed appearance beyond just volume restoration.
Additionally, patients can choose multiple treatment areas during a single session, making fat transfer highly versatile. It is suitable for both men and women seeking subtle or significant aesthetic improvements.

- Face: cheeks, under eyes, lips, jawline for youthful rejuvenation.
- Hands: restore volume and reduce visible veins and wrinkles.

Preparing for Your Fat Transfer
Prior to the procedure, patients undergo a detailed consultation to assess overall health, body fat availability, and aesthetic goals. It is recommended to avoid smoking, alcohol, and certain medications as instructed by your doctor. Adequate hydration and a healthy diet improve recovery and fat graft survival.
Our experts also take precise photographs and measurements to plan the best approach for each area, ensuring symmetry, volume restoration, and a natural appearance. Personalized planning is crucial for predictable and aesthetically pleasing results.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery varies by patient and area treated, but typically involves mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at donor and recipient sites. Compression garments may be advised for donor areas. Transplanted fat integrates naturally, and most patients resume normal daily activities within a few days.
Maintaining a stable weight and following post-procedure guidelines are essential to preserve results. Avoid excessive pressure on treated areas during the initial healing phase to maximize fat survival.
